Disco Elysium definitely, as it's probably one of if not the best written games available right now.

If you want something with more gameplay, you should definitely take a look at Pathologic 2. New content will be released relatively soon for it too (as in a different playable character and story), so it's probably a good time to give it a shot.

I use the same wired earbuds on my desktop PC and on the go, so yes.

Nice bait Mr Business Man

I've been using arch for 2 years and I've been regularly using the forum to troubleshoot issues. The vast majority of posts, at least from what I have seen and experienced were just of people trying to troubleshoot the issue, asking for command outputs, providing suggestions or just wiki links to people who have missed things in the installation or forum links if the issue was solved previously. Sure there might have been some toxicity in some threads, but that's bound to happen in an open forum.

Maybe I'm super lucky but that's my experience with the platform. Most of the toxicity I've encountered on the internet when it comes to arch and Linux in general was on reddit and lemmy, where people just try to push other distros down and make their own look superior.

If you agree with something, it's common sense, natural, apolitical. If you disagree with something, its immediately political.

That's how it works pretty much.

While I don't particularly agree with the example you've given, the idea is correct. In order to have any kind of system (especially at its inception), you need to have authoritarianism of some sort, and in the modern liberal democratic countries, this authoritarianism is in the form of the law and police, who protect private property so capitalists can do their thing.

When it comes to socialism, in almost every case it was done via a military dictatorship, and it's rather hard to tell if this was done because everyone was copying the big 'socialist' countries like soviet union or china, or if dictatorships are the most practical way to do so. With dictatorships there's a substantial risk of putting someone in power who's just an opportunist and wants all the power above all else like Stalin, or having a party that doesn't really care to bring on communism and it turns into oligarchy.

However, it's not all dictators - Paris Commune was a revolution that had the dictatorship of proletariat, as in the dictator was the working class, and while it failed, it definitely was on the right track, at least in my opinion. You minimize the risks of having a singular dictator, but to succeed you need to have the majority of people on board with the idea, which is a tall order especially today where any talk of socialism is met by misinformed skepticism and years of anti-communist propaganda by the liberal democracy world.

Nothing, I didn't think much of it or cared if something was open source or not. It's when I started to become privacy conscious I started to care, though one program in my childhood that I actually thought was cool but not necessarily because open source was 7-zip - it's free winrar that worked better for me.

I've switched to wayland full time, on amd GPU so I didn't get any nvidia problems.

Used sway and hyprland as my compositors, and a large pro was incredibly smooth desktop experience, especially when browsing when compared to Xorg. No screen tearing, just smooth as butter scrolling. Also when gaming, I found the fullscreen/borderless experience to be way less of a hassle than on xorg.

That's where the pros off the top of my head end. The cons are that it's new, so it's lacking in some software like autoclickers (can use scripts as workaround), and the security feature of applications not being able to read each others inputs, which does help against potential keyloggers but disrupts any push to use/talk applications. If you want to create an autoclicker script or use discord's push to talk, you'll likely have to bind it through a compositor with varying results, or be pretty much limited to using them in xwayland windows. And recently, it seems that my loading times of games on steam went up, though not sure how much of that is wayland's fault.

Apart from that, yeah. It's a shiny new thing that is perfectly usable, and if you want to - go for it. For your use case specifically, the cons probably won't matter unless you don't want to use a window manager, because then I'd probably stay away if I were you. The only desktop environment that supports wayland is KDE and last I've heard the experience is still rather experimental. But overall, is it worth switching for practical reasons when compared to xorg? In my opinion, no.

I think this only applies to popular channels, I've noticed this on critikal's videos, maybe someordinarygamers, but when it comes to smaller channel sizes (around 100k), I see people having discussions about the video's content more often.

It's definitely bots that plague more popular creators, but I don't doubt there's also people who see these bots getting popular by posting the most generic bot-like messages just to get likes.

Literally carrot on a stick tactics

This was also implemented in Lithuania around maybe 5 years ago. Some kids would still get it by asking their parents or strangers to buy them, but they definitely got more rare, to the point where at least where I am, you'd more often see a teen with a ciggie rather than a teen with an energy drink.

Cars - Even if it makes my life extremely difficult in today's day and age, I've decided to try my best not getting/buying a car. I'm in Europe, so this is much easier to do than in US, and I want to see how far can I go with a bike or public transport only.

Blizzard, Bungie, Activision, Bethesda (at least titles developed by them) - anti consumer practices, even though some of the games are definitely good. As for Bethesda, I still would be down to buy games published but not developed by them, though the only one I've ever gotten was Dishonored.

Google and Microsoft - terrible privacy, tries to monopolize things. Actual evil companies and I don't really like them, switched them out completely from my daily desktop life and I couldn't be happier.
